You’ll get out of bed when it suits you; maybe stay in your old dressing gown until noon crafting away.

Then the money will start to roll in… What if I told you that life isn’t like that for most writers? The majority of writers have to discipline themselves by nailing themselves down in front of the computer screen even when they don’t much feel like it.

It can take longer to find a suitable market than it takes to write the article or story in the first place. So find suitable publishable platform.

#2. Be Realistic
It’s no good submitting articles or stories right, left and center to editors if your writing ability is not up to scratch.

Maybe your grammar needs polishing up?

Or your punctuation leaves a lot to be desired?

Do you have the foggiest idea how to format an article?

Whoa! Hold your horses one moment. Writers have to LEARN their craft. It’s highly unlikely you are so gifted you can decide to be a writer one day and earn money the next. This not the case for everyone, so be realistic in your goal.

Don’t be furious about others, watch and focus on your part and never give up. Let your crafts be real and natural as if you are communicating with a friend or co-worker.

#3. Decide What To Write About

The best thing to do is to grab a paper and pen and ‘brainstorm’ ideas. For e.g, what jobs have you had?

You may have been in the engineering profession, so would have knowledge on engineering matters, or you may have experience of working outside the home as well as being a parent. What hobbies and interests do you have?
